Fire damage restoration is the process of cleaning, repairing, and restoring a property that has been affected by a fire. This type of restoration involves various tasks to return the property to its pre-fire condition. Below are the key steps typically involved in fire damage restoration, although the plan for your specific situation may differ:
The first step is for Disaster America professionals to assess the extent of the fire damage, including structural damage, smoke damage, and water damage resulting from firefighting efforts. We inspect the affected areas to determine the scope of the restoration process.
It may be necessary to secure the property, including boarding up damaged windows and doors, and covering roofs and other openings with tarps to prevent further damage from weather or vandalism.
Firefighting efforts can leave a lot of water behind. Our professionals can extract standing water and use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry out the affected areas to prevent mold growth.
After a fire, smoke and soot can permeate various surfaces. Specialized equipment may be needed to clean and remove smoke residues from walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings.
Once water, smoke damage and soot are removed, affected surfaces and items should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to remove odors, contaminants, and any remaining residues.
The next indicated step is to assess structural damage and necessary repairs. This may include rebuilding walls, replacing damaged flooring, and repairing or replacing compromised structural components.
Disaster America can clean, deodorize, and restore personal belongings and furnishings affected by the fire. This may involve dry cleaning, wet cleaning, or specialized cleaning methods depending on the items. Consult your Disaster America professionals for the best plan for your situation.
Specialized techniques and equipment can be used to eliminate smoke odors from the property. This may include the use of ozone generators, thermal fogging, or other deodorization methods.
Once the property is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, the restoration process can begin. This involves rebuilding and restoring the property to its pre-fire condition, which may include painting, installing new flooring, and replacing damaged fixtures.
We usually recommend a final inspection to ensure that all restoration work has been completed to the satisfaction of the property owner and meets industry standards.
